Through my parents, I developed an attitude of gratitude; & I count my blessings. As a physician, who is a patient of Dr. Spurlock's, I can say that he has added value to my health and wellness; & I am very grateful. He possesses the knowledge & the compassion that I & so many of his patients need. "Dr. Marc", you live your life with grace, strength, courage, and confidence.
Thanks,
"Dr. Karen"

Dr. Spurlock specializes in preventive medicine, specifically dealing with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. CFID is a very difficult diagnosis for patients to live with and doctors to treat.

Cymbalta usually does not cause weight gain when compared to products like lyrica, (pregabalin) also for fibromyalgia pain.

The medication has been around for over 30 years and works well for the treatment of grave's disease. There are no proven natural treatments for grave's disease. You should not stop omega 3s or vitamins, however, during your treatments. The disorder should resolve in 1-2 years and you should no longer need the tapazole (methimazole). Do not fear taking this.
